What Causes Lump Near Leg Calf Area?

Hello doc,
I have had a medium sized lump like the size of 1.5-2 golfballs. The region is near my leg calf area. I was playing basketball about 3 weeks ago when a 285 lb person jumped up for a rebound at the same time as me and he landed in that area sliding down my leg. It produced an initial swelling of 1-1.5 golfballs, along with bruising 30 minutes after all down my leg. It's not painful 1-10 probably a 3 right now but still a bothersome. Any info would be great.
_thank you_

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!


Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a lump near leg calf area following some blow, I would come up with only two possibilities like an organised hematoma and a slowly remodelling/tearing of underlying bone !

You might apply ice/cold compress there and avoid rubbing...!
Therefore, nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there!

I suggest you to go for an X-ray/USG and FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
